Thing 15 - delicious

I created my delicious account several years ago but up until now have only had a couple of bookmarks posted to it. I understood what a fabulous tool delicious was but kept stopping because of the amount of effort it was going to take to transition the bookmarks I had into delicious. I was and am using a service that synchronizes my browser bookmarks between my computers so I haven't felt the frustration of not being able to access bookmarks when switching from one computer to another. About 6 months ago I began using another social bookmarking service called Diggo and although it has some unique features I enjoy I find I'm now committing myself to jumping into delicious. Delicious seems to have many more users and because of this has many more resources available for searching. As a bonus once I have delicious set up the way I want I'll be able to import all that information into Diigo and can use both tools. Sweet!

I've now uploaded almost 1000 bookmarks into delicious and am beginning the process of re-evaluating each link, tagging and sharing. It may take me months to complete but I believe it will be worth the effort. There are many situations where it will be advantageous to be able to share a set of tagged resources with a group of educators. I guess I just can't wait any longer.
